South BronxUnite is a coalition of South Bronx residents, organizations, and allies working together to improve and protect the social, environmental, and economic future of the South Bronx. South Bronx Unite formed in response to the proposed relocation of Fresh Direct from Long Island City in Queens to the Harlem River Yard, a 96‐acre Port Morris/Mott Haven waterfront parcel of public land leased by the New York State Department of Transportation to Harlem River Yard Ventures in 1991 for 99 years. In an undemocratic and community excluded process, the City and State have offered Fresh Direct $128 million of publicly financed subsidies to assist with Fresh Direct’s proposed move to the Harlem River Yard. Even though Fresh Direct would introduce thousands of vehicle and truck trips to South Bronx neighborhoods every single day, the City and Fresh Direct failed to adequately review the environmental impacts associated with the project as required by State and Local laws and excluded the affected community from the decision‐making process.

A new chemical plant is being built in the small African-American town of Mossville in southwest Louisiana, raising significant concerns about health, safety, and environmental impact. The plant’s owner has offered to pay Mossville residents to move out of their homes and sell their churches. The company says it is being generous, but some longtime residents and religious leaders feel they are being forced out. “The church is the hub of the community, as far as relationships and as far as love and caring for one another,” says LaSalle Clarence Williams Sr., chairman of the deacon board at Mount Zion Baptist Church, Mossville’s oldest house of worship.

Short documentary showing the community efforts from the Little Village neighborhood to get a 22 acre park. The park is a former superfund site that officially opened in December of 2014 after a 15 year long struggle.

The South Bronx is part of New York's 15th Congressional District. The South Bronx is served by the NYPD's 40th, 41st, 42nd, 44th, and 48th Precincts. The South Bronx is also known worldwide as the birthplace of hip-hop culture.

Environmental justice

Environmental justice emerged as a concept in the United States in the early 1980s. The term has two distinct uses. The first and more common usage describes a social movement whose focus is on the fair distribution of environmental benefits and burdens. Second, it is an interdisciplinary body of social science literature that includes theories of the environment, theories of justice, environmental law and governance, environmental policy and planning, development, sustainability, and political ecology.

Definition

Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. EPA has this goal for all communities and persons across this Nation[sic]. It will be achieved when everyone enjoys the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards and equal access to the decision-making process to have a healthy environment in which to live, learn, and work.

History

Founding and initial growth

The company was founded in 1999 by former Fairway Market CEO Joe Fedele and Jason Ackerman, a former investment banker who specialized in the grocery industry. Introduced to the New York market in 2002, its business grew popular for its convenience, fresh food and comparatively lower prices than many Manhattan supermarkets although less competitive elsewhere.

Justice

Justice, is a concept whose content several times has been subject to a philosophical as well as legal treatment. There is no universal definition of the term. In its most basic form, "justice" is the systematized administration of punishment and reward. Further to this, one can say that justice excludes randomness. The concept of justice is based on numerous fields, and many differing viewpoints and perspectives including the concepts of moral correctness based on law, equity, ethics, rationality, religion, and fairness. Often, the general discussion of justice is divided into the realm of societal justice as found in philosophy, theology and religion, and procedural justice as found in the study and application of the law.

The Bronx is divided by the Bronx River into a hillier section in the west, closer to Manhattan, and a flatter eastern section, closer to Long Island. East and west street addresses are divided by Jerome Avenue—the continuation of Manhattan's Fifth Avenue. The West Bronx was annexed to New York City in 1874, and the areas east of the Bronx River in 1895. Bronx County was separated from New York County in 1914.

South BronxUnite is a coalition of South Bronx residents, organizations, and allies working together to improve and protect the social, environmental, and economic future of the South Bronx. South Bronx Unite formed in response to the proposed relocation of Fresh Direct from Long Island City in Queens to the Harlem River Yard, a 96‐acre Port Morris/Mott Haven waterfront parcel of public land leased by the New York State Department of Transportation to Harlem River Yard Ventures in 1991 for 99 years. In an undemocratic and community excluded process, the City and State have offered Fresh Direct $128 million of publicly financed subsidies to assist with Fresh Direct’s proposed move to the Harlem River Yard. Even though Fresh Direct would introduce thousands of vehicle and truck trips to South Bronx neighborhoods every single day, the City and Fresh Direct failed to adequately review the environmental impacts associated with the project as required by State and Local laws and excluded the affected community from the decision‐making process.

The industrial age of energy and transportation will be over by 2030. Maybe before.
Exponentially improving technologies such as solar, electric vehicles, and autonomous (self-driving) cars will disrupt and sweep away the energy and transportation industries as we know it. The same Silicon Valley ecosystem that created bit-based technologies that have disrupted atom-based industries is now creating bit- and electron-based technologies that will disrupt atom-based energy industries.
Clean Disruption projections (based on technology cost curves, business model innovation as well as product innovation) show that by 2030:
– All new energy will be provided by solar or wind.
– All new mass-market vehicles will be electric.
– All of these vehicles will be autonomous (self-driving) or semi-autonomous.
– The car market will shrink by 80%.
– Gasoline will be obsolete. Nuclear is already obsolete. Natural Gas and Coal will be obsolete.
– Up to 80% of highways will not be needed.

South BronxUnite is a coalition of South Bronx residents, organizations, and allies working together to improve and protect the social, environmental, and economic future of the South Bronx. South Bronx Unite formed in response to the proposed relocation of Fresh Direct from Long Island City in Queens to the Harlem River Yard, a 96‐acre Port Morris/Mott Haven waterfront parcel of public land leased by the New York State Department of Transportation to Harlem River Yard Ventures in 1991 for 99 years. In an undemocratic and community excluded process, the City and State have offered Fresh Direct $128 million of publicly financed subsidies to assist with Fresh Direct’s proposed move to the Harlem River Yard. Even though Fresh Direct would introduce thousands of vehicle and truck trips to South Bronx neighborhoods every single day, the City and Fresh Direct failed to adequately review the environmental impacts associated with the project as required by State and Local laws and excluded the affected community from the decision‐making process.

At Brook Park, 100 pepper plants have taken root in a corner of the garden known as the “youth farm.” Their primary caretakers are teenagers with criminal records who were sent to work in the garden through a court order as an alternative to incarceration. Ray Figueroa Jr is the program director for Friends of Brook Park, which runs the garden. A few of the youth have completed their requirements but continue to work at the YouthFarm.

South Bronx Tries To Keep Its Soul Amid Gentrification

Baz Luhrmann's Netflix show The Get Down charts the history of hip hop in the South Bronx. As the $120 million project becomes the talk of the town, actual residents fight to maintain the soul of the neighborhood despite encroaching gentrification. Developers have been trying to change the image of the area, rebranding it as The PianoDistrict, with rumors of the South Bronx becoming the next hipster mecca like Williamsburg in Brooklyn. Real estate firms are working to develop luxury apartment buildings, boutique hotels and nightclubs. Mychal Johnson, a member of the community group South Bronx Unite says, “There’s been a lot of advancement in our community but the question remains for whom and at what cost?”

NYC Travel Tips: 10 Things to Know Before You Go to New York City

Things YOU need to know before you travel to New York City. NYC consists of 5 Boroughs, Manhattan, the most famous and dense is also the smallest. Brooklyn is the most populated, with 2.6 million residents (total of 8.5M in NYC). Queens is the largest, and “most ethnically diverse” county in the US. Bronx is the northenmost and the only one that is part of the US Mainland. Staten Island is the most suburban
Manhattan is BIG -- don’t expect to walk the whole thing in a day
5 days is probably the sweet spot. No less than 3 days.
Wear comfortable shoes
Girls: Sex and the City says everybody walks in heels all the time -- not so much.

A Trip to The Bronx, New York City

I get daily requests from viewers to visit the Bronx.
In this video I visited Mott Haven, a neighborhood in the Bronx that is super close to Manhattan.
Many parts of the Bronx have flourished over the past few years due to the low property prices, and Mott Haven has been particularly attractive for its fantastic location.
I wanted to show more parts of the Bronx in this video, but sadly it was raining a lot and by 4pm the sun disappeared.
More visits to the Bronx are coming soon.

What isStaten Island? This, is Staten Island.
(Locations & song name below!)
Let me ask you a question. Have you truly been to Staten Island? Like REALLY been here? When I take the ferry home from work every day I hear, “What’s in Staten Island?”, “What do they even have there?”, “What do they do there?” and an abundance of other questions from tourists, which partly sparked the idea for this project. Well, if you’ve taken the ferry to St. George only to see the Statue of Liberty for free, just to make a U-turn inside the terminal & get back on the same boat to head back to Manhattan…then no, you haven’t been here. What’s wrong with leaving the terminal, exploring, walking around a bit, maybe having something to eat?

There are lots of different kinds of people that live in the Bronx, which makes it such an amazing place. So, we're going to zero in on a sort of Puerto Rican flavor to this Bronx accent.
There's a lot of lip corner tension, and the tongue is high in the back of the mouth. Ah sounds become dipthongs, so there's two elements to them. They become 'Awh,' so law, thought, cost become 'lawh, thawht, cawhst.' Try this fritz. I thought this was happening, but basically, it's not happening. I 'thawht' this was happening, but 'basicilly', it's not happening. You hear that little Latin flavor, very fast tip of the tongue.
That 'th' sound definitely does turn to a d in phrases like the Bronx, da Bronx instead of the Bronx. So, what's the musicality of this accent? It's a very fast accent, you get some New York flavors, and you also get some Spanish as a first language flavor too. There's lots of fun variety in this accent, and there's a lot of musicality, a lot of pitch variation. But go listen to some native Bronx speakers, and crawl into the language that way.

I get daily requests from viewers to visit the Bronx.
In this video I visited Mott Haven, a neighborhood in the Bronx that is super close to Manhattan.
Many parts of the Bronx have flourished over the past few years due to the low property prices, and Mott Haven has been particularly attractive for its fantastic location.
I wanted to show more parts of the Bronx in this video, but sadly it was raining a lot and by 4pm the sun disappeared.
More visits to the Bronx are coming soon.

South BronxUnite is a coalition of South Bronx residents, organizations, and allies working together to improve and protect the social, environmental, and economic future of the South Bronx. South Bronx Unite formed in response to the proposed relocation of Fresh Direct from Long Island City in Queens to the Harlem River Yard, a 96‐acre Port Morris/Mott Haven waterfront parcel of public land leased by the New York State Department of Transportation to Harlem River Yard Ventures in 1991 for 99 years. In an undemocratic and community excluded process, the City and State have offered Fresh Direct $128 million of publicly financed subsidies to assist with Fresh Direct’s proposed move to the Harlem River Yard. Even though Fresh Direct would introduce thousands of vehicle and truck trips to South Bronx neighborhoods every single day, the City and Fresh Direct failed to adequately review the environmental impacts associated with the project as required by State and Local laws and excluded the affected community from the decision‐making process.

At Brook Park, 100 pepper plants have taken root in a corner of the garden known as the “youth farm.” Their primary caretakers are teenagers with criminal records who were sent to work in the garden through a court order as an alternative to incarceration. Ray Figueroa Jr is the program director for Friends of Brook Park, which runs the garden. A few of the youth have completed their requirements but continue to work at the YouthFarm.

Environmental Justice in Mossville

A new chemical plant is being built in the small African-American town of Mossville in southwest Louisiana, raising significant concerns about health, safety, and environmental impact. The plant’s owner has offered to pay Mossville residents to move out of their homes and sell their churches. The company says it is being generous, but some longtime residents and religious leaders feel they are being forced out. “The church is the hub of the community, as far as relationships and as far as love and caring for one another,” says LaSalle Clarence Williams Sr., chairman of the deacon board at Mount Zion Baptist Church, Mossville’s oldest house of worship.

The industrial age of energy and transportation will be over by 2030. Maybe before.
Exponentially improving technologies such as solar, electric vehicles, and autonomous (self-driving) cars will disrupt and sweep away the energy and transportation industries as we know it. The same Silicon Valley ecosystem that created bit-based technologies that have disrupted atom-based industries is now creating bit- and electron-based technologies that will disrupt atom-based energy industries.
Clean Disruption projections (based on technology cost curves, business model innovation as well as product innovation) show that by 2030:
– All new energy will be provided by solar or wind.
– All new mass-market vehicles will be electric.
– All of these vehicles will be autonomous (self-driving) or semi-autonomous.
– The car market will shrink by 80%.
– Gasoline will be obsolete. Nuclear is already obsolete. Natural Gas and Coal will be obsolete.
– Up to 80% of highways will not be needed.
– Up to 80% of parking spaces will not be needed.
– The concept of individual car ownership will be obsolete.
– The CarInsurance industry will be disrupted. The taxi industry will be obsolete.

'Bronx Ghetto Tours' Make Fun of the Poor

"A Bronx bus company is offering tours billed as a "a ride through a real New York City 'GHETTO'," the New York Post reports.
The company, Real Bronx Tours, has taken largely white foreign tourists around the Bronx. The tour guide was caught mocking the Bronx by Post reporter CandiceGiove."*
A bus tour in New York City reportedly drives around "a real ghetto" and openly mocks people going to soup kitchens and church pantries. Is there a market for making fun of the poor? Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola (TYT University), and Cara Santa Maria discuss.

South Bronx Tries To Keep Its Soul Amid Gentrification

Baz Luhrmann's Netflix show The Get Down charts the history of hip hop in the South Bronx. As the $120 million project becomes the talk of the town, actual residents fight to maintain the soul of the neighborhood despite encroaching gentrification. Developers have been trying to change the image of the area, rebranding it as The PianoDistrict, with rumors of the South Bronx becoming the next hipster mecca like Williamsburg in Brooklyn. Real estate firms are working to develop luxury apartment buildings, boutique hotels and nightclubs. Mychal Johnson, a member of the community group South Bronx Unite says, “There’s been a lot of advancement in our community but the question remains for whom and at what cost?”

How to Do a Bronx Accent | Accent Training

There are lots of different kinds of people that live in the Bronx, which makes it such an amazing place. So, we're going to zero in on a sort of Puerto Rican flavor to this Bronx accent.
There's a lot of lip corner tension, and the tongue is high in the back of the mouth. Ah sounds become dipthongs, so there's two elements to them. They become 'Awh,' so law, thought, cost become 'lawh, thawht, cawhst.' Try this fritz. I thought this was happening, but basically, it's not happening. I 'thawht' this was happening, but 'basicilly', it's not happening. You hear that little Latin flavor, very fast tip of the tongue.
That 'th' sound definitely does turn to a d in phrases like the Bronx, da Bronx instead of the Bronx. So, what's the musicality of this accent? It's a very fast accent, you get some New York flavors, and you also get some Spanish as a first language flavor too. There's lots of fun variety in this accent, and there's a lot of musicality, a lot of pitch variation. But go listen to some native Bronx speakers, and crawl into the language that way.
